The actual limestone structure may be 'sound' with five foot thick walls at base, but the top, lamp, and mortar definitely need attention. I also understand that the wooden steps collapsed a few years ago under the weight of the bird guano.

The Lighthouse Keeper's cottage is almost at the point of no return (reminds me of the derelict Freeman Station now under 'restoration' in Burlington. It's basically a complete 're-build'....) Is this cottage worth it? Aesthetically, not really. Historically, yes. Ergo, a 'dynamic' re-creation as a local pub/eatery and 'Welcome Centre' for the Trail, Lighthouse & beach strip might be a better destination and end use.

The site doesn't have to be commercially tawdry or super-hyped 'casino-like'. It can be charming, inviting, and a welcoming launch into the area, with a dart board & relaxed local-brew beer/wine garden deck out front and back ...

.... Where there is a Will, there is a Way.
